Review of security measures...I should hope so! Both on the Richardson side of the runway, and on 17 Wing. Who in their right mind leaves the keys in a truck on base? They are to be returned to the pool key press when not in use, correct? Or was the truck running unattended? Either way, this...
Hundreds of millions,perhaps billions of dollars in preparation! Yeah right! With an election looming..not going to happen. The goverments of the past have never spent much time, money or attention to arctic sovereignty, and now it has come back to bite us in the a$$. This will be an interesting...
I have endured what the good Sergeant is going through. You never regain that sense of security in your own home. I have found myself scrutinizing every car that passes, every face I do not know that walks by. I check ID through the glass, and I have spent thousands on a home security system and...
We as an armed force are getting ready to stand down from ten years of conflict in a foreign country. We have to consider the fat that we as an armed force need the time to lick our wounds, and shore up our gear. This may take time. If our current government or a newly elected one deems after a...
It is interesting that judges were at 51%, but lawyers only held out 31%. The legal system as a whole is not trusted much in the broad scope. But I was wrong before...on a lot of topics. :2c:
Ok, well stated Brihard.This person obviously has a few nuts loose in his boiler, and is looking for some attenion from others in the same boat(zealots). His comments were rather disgusting and disturbing, for certain. But he has fled this country, most likely for his ancestral home or one that...
You will have to forgive my brother folks(EMEGUY421), he is passionate about some things, and impassive on others. This nutbar (not my brother, the other one! ;)) should be arrested for these ludicrous comments. and when found, locked up for the duration of his miserable existence. I again...
Like I said, it was a different army back then. We didn't run marathons for the hell of it. It wasn't expected of us. We worked and partied when the mess opened. Todays Forces are different. The expectations are higher, much higher than I was dealing with. I am now a CIC due to the fact that my...
Experience...3 yrs on the guns. I have been to a lot of course smokers, seen a lot of parties, been hammered more than a few times and yes, I smoked. But back in the eighties that was a norm. It was a different army. We did PT every day regardless of the weather, that hasn't changed..has it? We...
Don't forget the alcoholics, chronic pill poppers, dope heads, and anyone with mental disabilities from training injuries if you are going to paint with that brush. And trust me..alcoholics outnumber the smokers 3/1. Fact, not fiction!
